Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups chicken stock
4 cups shelled fresh peas (about 4 pounds in the pod)
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil over medium heat. Add the peas, reduce the heat, and boil the peas gently until tender, about 10 minutes for large peas (smaller ones cook more quickly). Drain and reserve the stock.
  • Place the peas in a food processor with 1 cup of the reserved stock, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Process to a smooth puree. At this point taste the cream and adapt it to your taste. If you'd like more lemon juice, add it. Missing that garlic heat? Add it. Not creamy (which can happen if the peas are not cooked quite enough or if they are starchy)? Add more stock.
  • Place the puree in one-cup containers or half-pint freezer jars leaving 1 inch of headroom and freeze.

I'm not a huge fan of peas, but I loved this pesto! The mint and Parmesan cheese really balance out the flavor of the peas.

This pea pesto is a delicious and refreshing twist on the classic basil pesto. The peas add a natural sweetness and vibrant green color, while the mint adds a subtle freshness. I used it to top grilled chicken and it was a huge hit with my family. Wi
